If you live in Ottawa, you don't have to settle for coffee that was roasted months ago and shipped across the country. Sola is an Ottawa coffee roaster that roasts single-origin coffee every Monday and delivers it free to your door. Here's how fresh coffee bean delivery in Ottawa works, and how to choose the right bag.
Why local, fresh-roasted coffee tastes better
Coffee loses flavour fastest in the weeks after roasting. A literature review published by the Specialty Coffee Association found the greatest rate of freshness loss happens in the first month of storage. Many grocery store bags have been sitting in warehouses and on shelves for much longer than that.
Buying from a local roaster closes that gap. When your coffee is roasted in Ottawa and delivered within days, you taste it the way it's meant to taste: sweet, aromatic and complex.

Never run out: coffee subscriptions in Ottawa
If you drink coffee every day, a subscription is the easiest way to always have fresh beans. With a Sola subscription:
- Save 15% with delivery every 2 weeks, or 10% every 4 weeks
- Your coffee is roasted fresh on Monday for every delivery
- Skip, swap roasts, or cancel anytime
A 340g bag makes about 18 cups. As a rule of thumb, if you drink one to two cups a day, every 2 weeks is about right.

Getting the most from fresh coffee

- Use about 1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water as a starting point
